Thursday Thirteen: Everything and the Kitchen Sink Edition

(OK, I’m two days late on this one … this was written yesterday.)As I mentioned in my brief post last night, we’re taking a short trip to Iowa this weekend to visit Tim’s family. We left at 7:00 this morning and expect to return home by 9:00 Sunday evening. So, 2.5 days. Short trip, not too much to lug with us, right? WRONG! Here’s (most) of what we lugged with us:1. One large suitcase with clothes for me and Tim. And beach towels. And toiletries. And extra shoes.

2. One medium suitcase with LOTS of clothes for the kids. And a pack of diapers.

13. Nebulizer and meds (just in case we need them for the kids, who both have very mild asthma) ETA: I’m SO glad we brought this. LS had been coughing a bit and it got much worse last night. We ended up giving her a treatment at 12:00 a.m. – with her screaming the whole time. Ugh.
